This should PID collisions a tiny bit less likely, and thus improve security and robustness. 2^22 isn't particularly a lot either, but it's the current kernel limitation. Bumping this limit was suggested by Linus himself: https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/CAHk-=wiZ40LVjnXSi9iHLE_-ZBsWFGCgdmNiYZUXn1-V5YBg2g@mail.gmail.com/ Let's experiment with this in systemd upstream first. Downstreams and users can after all still comment this easily. Besides compat concern the most often heard issue with such high PIDs is usability, since they are potentially hard to type. I am not entirely sure though whether 4194304 (as largest new PID) is that much worse to type or to copy than 65563. This should also simplify management of per system tasks limits as by this move the sysctl /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max becomes the primary knob to control how many processes to have in parallel.
